CALL FOR PAPERS

The Fourth International Workshop on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology will be held in Kyoto from May 31 to June 3, 2004, as a part of a collaborative program in bioinformatics involving three leading research institutes: Boston University in the US, Humboldt University Berlin in Germany and Kyoto University in Japan. With the rapid growth of the fields of bioinformatics and systems biology, a research forum is strongly required for graduate students and young researchers to exchange new ideas and report recent progress. Such an experience would provide a precious opportunity to encourage their continuing research in these fields. This workshop will bring students and researchers together to present and discuss their research objectives, approaches and results in bioinformatics.




S
COPE

The scope of this workshop covers all conceivable aspects of bioinformatics and systems biology. It includes all computational approaches leading to the understanding of biological phenomena at various levels.



PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We call two categories of papers: full papers and short papers. Each paper submitted to the category of full papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. All accepted full papers will be published in Genome Informatics Series Vol. 15, No.1, and be indexed in Medline. A paper which is not accepted as a full paper can be submitted as a short paper.
